Elizabeth Warrens heavily promoted DNA test showing she likely has some Native-American ancestry ended up handing more fodder to Republican critics, who pointed out the test results indicate she could actually have less Native-American heritage than the average European American. Warren, D-Mass., took the rare step Monday of sharing DNA test results examining her long-challenged Native-American bloodline. According to the analysis, as first reported by The Boston Globe, the vast majority of Warrens family tree is European and there is strong evidence she has Native-American ancestry in the range of 6-10 generations ago. As reported by ...

Feinstein under fire for handling of sexual assault allegations against KavanaughPost Date: 2018-09-19 16:59:11 by Justified5 Comments Sen. Dianne Feinstein was one of four female senators who rode into Washington in 1992 amid a political backlash over the all-male panel that quizzed Anita Hill on her sexual harassment allegations against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas a year earlier. Now as the top Democrat handling the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh, the California senator finds herself in the middle of the political maelstrom over sexual assault allegations against another high court nominee.

The Obvious SuspectPost Date: 2018-09-09 10:41:00 by Willie Green4 CommentsThe quest to unmask the New York Times op-ed writer has been filled with speculation. But the articles prose points to one person in particular. Who wrote the anonymous op-ed against President Trump in Wednesdays New York Times? All we know for certain is what the Times disclosed: that its a senior official in the Trump administration. But the most likely author, based on the op-eds content and style, is the U.S. ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman. Huntsman is an obvious suspect for several reasons. The articles themes are classic Huntsman: effusive about conservative policies, blunt about low character. In 2016, he made the same points for and ...

Was Omarosa Manigault Newman a Spy for Mueller?Post Date: 2018-08-26 10:00:35 by CZ821 CommentsI was first aware of Omarosa 15 years ago when she was on the original Donald Trump Apprentice TV shows.

The recent article by David Chol of Business Insider points out that she was a Democrat and worked in the Clinton White House. People magazine is quoted in the article saying, Her former colleagues described her tenure as rocky. These included Cheryl Shavers, the former Under Secretary for Technology at the Commerce Department, who said that she was asked to leave as quickly as possible, she was so disruptive. Perhaps as we will ...

ANNULMENT OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY[Full Thread]Post Date: 2018-08-24 00:40:00 by nolu chan47 Comments [23 August 2018] Robert Reich 11 hrs ANNULMENT OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY Suppose Robert Mueller comes up with overwhelming evidence that Trump colluded with Russia to become President, and that, were it not for Russias actions during the election, Trump would not have been elected. In other words, Trumps presidency is not authorized under the United States Constitution. Impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate would remove Trump from office. This would remedy Trumps high crimes and misdemeanors. But impeachment would not remedy Trumps unconstitutional presidency because it would leave in place his vice president, White House staff and ...

On Friday night, MSNBC host Lawrence ODonnell was asked about his prediction by Bill Maher on HBOs Real Time. I would say the most likely ending of it is when Elizabeth Warren, or whoever the Democratic nominee is, beats him in the next election, he said. Maher, who has long held that Trump aspires to be a dictator, said that he doubts Trump will give up the Oval Office smoothly. So you think if he loses the election he will just greet her at the door on January 20th? When the clock strikes 12, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will administer the oath of office to her, no matter where it ishe ...

In 45 years, I've seen only one other president ever act as desperate as TrumpPost Date: 2018-08-07 09:31:48 by Willie Green7 CommentsPresident Donald Trump is acting with a desperation I've seen only once before in Washington: 45 years ago when President Richard Nixon ordered the firing of special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox. Nixon was fixated on ending the Watergate investigation, just as Trump wants to shut down the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. A lesson for the president from history: It turned out badly for Nixon. Not only could he not derail the investigation, but also, 10 months later, he was forced to resign the presidency. In fact, in some ways, Trump is conducting himself more frantically than Nixon, all the while protesting his innocence. ...
